The Lego Lion Challenge

What a ROARING success! Mrs Thomsen is spending each Tuesday afternoon with a group of Year 5 children to programme a lego lion to respond to different stimuli. The children have taken great PRIDE in their computer programmes as they make the lion roar and respond as it is presented with a bone. They have had tremendous fun recording their voices as part of the mini story and playing them back later as the lion sits up in response to the programme written. Mrs Thomsen's skills with lego programming are greatly appreciated. The MANE benefits of this exercise are apparent in terms of the fun and educational value to the children!
